i finally purchased an ice pack and it's worked wonders for my knees and right heel. had a good long run saturday morning...despite the heat and humidity. mother nature has been one ornery mother! major flooding in philly county. what i can't understand is why people try to drive through areas that are flooded. i mean, where the heck do you have to be that's so important that you'll risk having your car end up floating down the road???
i had an appointment yesterday morning to donate blood...when i turned the tv on in the morning, heck, when i looked out my window and saw the pouring rain and lightning, i decided not to go. next sunday. perhaps. there's a real shortage.
will head to the gym today and jump on the spinning bike. my legs are feeling pretty strong. but i have to really work on my gut.

been a little stressed out lately. i hate to say it but the freakin' terrorist threats are working. i can't be the only person in this country that is on edge. nyc is currently at orange. i would be lying if i didn't feel a little worried about being in the city for the marathon... security will be tight though. but damn those lowlifes for getting in my head and causing anxiety, the bastards.
cowards. religious cowards.

lunch today:
steamed carrots, string beans, rice, a cup of strawberry yogurt, and whole wheat toast with peanut butter. i've got 1 raw carrot and an orange for after the gym.

why can't men just divorce their pregnant wives? why in the hell do they have to kill them? violence against pregnant women, unfortunately, happens alot more often than people think. this summer has been hell for women and girls...college-aged and younger. lots of kidnapping and killing. every day i walk past a flyer of a composite drawing of a rapist and killer. everyday i say a little prayer that he is caught.

a little down and depressed, but i'm still going to put the ole running sneaks on and run. i'm still going to don the sweats and old t-shirt and lift some weights...
for my muscles, heart and mind.
